I came to understand the philosophy and the kind of user, and specially workflow, most desktop environments try to appeal

however, I don’t fully understand Budgie, have you used it? what can you tell me about it?

I do know, that the open nature of GNU/Linux makes not everything having to “fill a gap”, there can be more than one project with similar goals and that’s okay I just want to know it better

Budgie was started by Ikey Doherty for Solus. So quick background on Ikey, he does things because he thinks he has a better way of doing it, and he doesn't do it for others so much as himself.

So we could probably say Budgie came about because Ikey wanted a desktop that suited him and his new (at the time) Solus project. And now it just goes on.

He's at it again too. His work on Aeryn OS is all about building his own tools. He reinvents the wheel because it's what suits him.
